Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is one of the most graphically impressive games released recently: the dynamism of the world and its details really manage to impress. The plot may not be great, but the main quest missions feature a lot of variety, and this makes the game engaging for hours. If you have a little patience in having fun finding places and characters without a well-functioning navigation system, it's definitely worth it.

The prince has been kidnapped. To save him, Sargon will have to conquer the Powers of Time and learn to combine them with his own warrior skills. The greatest strength of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown lies precisely in this mix. Ubisoft Montpellier's metroidvania is based on an intricate and exciting map, as well as offering the player a combat system that combines parry, magic and typically hack 'n' slash mechanics. The result is an unoriginal game, which doesn't stand out artistically speaking, but which certainly manages to entertain. Highly recommended for metroidvania lovers who are waiting for Silksong.

Despite the shortcomings highlighted, Farsiders shows potential that could see its positive realization through future updates and patches. Continued efforts by Ghost Gambit, the Thai developer team, could improve the combat system, resolve pacing issues and offer broader customization options, thus helping to transform the game into a more complete and satisfying experience for the players.

The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered is an essential piece to add to your PlayStation collection, especially if you've never had the chance to play the 2020 title. The re-release shines thanks to the power of the PS5 and the improvements made with the more performing hardware, also offering a series of tasty extras: the roguelike No Return mode is the real gem, proving fun and well structured even without offering new mechanics compared to the single player experience. Unlike the remake Part 1, where the launch price was understandably criticized, we also believe that the choice to offer an upgrade for €10 is an acceptable requirement given the work done.

A little thought, at the end of the review. The person writing this review is not only a video game enthusiast, but is somehow involved with Bluethroot himself, as a teacher in a lower secondary school. The impact that Bluethroot can have on a student is potentially very significant, both for the topics that are covered and for the way in which they are treated. However, it is also necessary to remember that we are talking about very delicate topics, on which the eye of a more expert person cannot be omitted. The experience must necessarily be taken with caution, while exploiting the idea of interactive entertainment which tends to mitigate the heaviness of the atmospheres and problems that afflict the characters. Precisely for this reason we recommend using Bluethroot to a group of students for whom awareness becomes an important part of their life, probably not limited to high school but also to the transition phase with them. In any case, if you are a teacher or expert, we highly recommend trying Bluethroot before reaching a final decision.

It's a real shame that Bramble: The Mountain King suffers from such limiting game design issues, as they compromise the narrative of its dark and disturbing tale. On the gameplay side it doesn't do much to stand out from the crowd, but the atmosphere that supports it saves it from being a total disappointment.

The Xbox Series X/S version of Baldur's Gate 3 once again confirms the extreme skill of Larian Studios. The porting to Microsoft home consoles was a perfect success, also allowing Xbox players to get their hands on GOTY 2023. Obviously we hope that the save bug will be resolved as soon as possible. A problem which, as mentioned, does not directly depend on the work carried out by the Belgian team.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is more than just a reimagining of the previous title. The game not only manages to appeal to the competitive audience by introducing rollback netcode and allowing crossplay between all systems, but it captivates casual players by introducing its world and new mechanics through its fun minigames. Although the first title fell short of expectations due to its release period and lack of essential modern components, we believe that Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will succeed in bringing a new audience to its fantasy world.

While playing A Highland Song we were immediately captivated by its graphic style. The hand-painted Scottish countryside enticed us to travel the moors and hills together with Moira. The hidden objects and stories surrounding these landscapes encourage deeper exploration. The system of finding maps and the points indicated on them is an interesting diversification and an ingenious idea to give our journey a destination. The accompanying music fits in with its calm gameplay, while the rhythm game elements could have been better realised, perhaps by aiming for a different difficulty threshold: two-button combinations are not enough, and in the end A Highland Song is too easy. The plot is simple but clear, and the stories of Moira and her uncle that accompany the game perfectly complement the story. The voice acting is excellent, and we enjoyed the Scottish accent of the main characters. It's just a shame that there is no Italian translation available, which does not make A Highland Song easy to enjoy for those unfamiliar with English. A Highland Song deserves players' attention. The market needs games of this kind: simple, with a good story and attractive, stylish graphics.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a title that has a lot to offer in terms of customisation and exploration of the world composed of the most iconic characters from Disney and Pixar films. Although some quests can be repetitive, the game manages to offer many hours of entertainment and relaxation within a magical world.

God of War Ragnarok Valhalla is therefore a content lovingly conceived by the developers for all fans of the saga, capable of reawakening every memory created in the company of the most famous Spartan in the world of video games, as well as representing the perfect closure to a majestic, fascinating and well-crafted chapter, which is now seen to be settling the proverbial cherry on top.

Fearmonium had all the credentials to deal with such a sensitive topic as phobia and depression in a sharp and interesting manner. Unfortunately, the reality of the facts is quite different, and it proposes an imprecise and botched title, which sees in its artistic compartment its only lifeline.

After 10 years, Rogue Legacy returns with a sequel that adds even more variety and fun. Rogue Legacy 2 ranks as one of the most original and worthwhile roguelites, thanks to a formula that has been refined and made excellent.

Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen is a short and concise expansion that offers respectable new fights. If you loved the original game and its combat system, we recommend it without hesitation, even if it doesn't offer much in the way of plot and new abilities. The feeling is that the best is yet to come with The Rising Tide, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

The Invincible is a video game that will delight lovers of science fiction and narrative adventures, offering a gaming experience rich in emotions and moments of reflection. The title is a homage to Lem's novel, but also an original and innovative work that tests our humanity in a retro-futuristic sci-fi context.

Super Mario RPG is a perfect remake that certainly shows how much the original Legend of the Seven Stars had its (reasoned) naivety. At the same time, it is a sweet, enjoyable adventure. The most appropriate calling card for those who want to approach RPGs, today as in 1995: the world of Mario is so iconic that it's hard not to be enraptured by the title

Ghostrunner 2 is a game that refines the structure of the first chapter without going much further. Once again, we are faced with a system that makes trial and error its main mechanic, something that might turn some players' noses up. Compared to its predecessor, the motorbike sections breathe new life into the game and the narrative becomes more central, although it is not the main reason why you will want to buy the game. Those who loved the first chapter will immediately feel at home, while newcomers may find Ghostrunner 2 a challenging title that represents a total improvement on what they saw with the first chapter. In short, you can't change a winning team!

Howl is a simple but efficient turn-based tactical game. It is not particularly long-lived, but gives the possibility of a good handful of games without getting bored. The mechanics are immediate and fun, suitable for everyone thanks to an ‘assisted’ mode that helps with reasoning. A successful indie title, able to entertain in downtime while keeping the mind in training.

Haus adds almost nothing more than what was seen in Dead Island 2. The purchase is therefore only recommended for fans of the brand and those who want to invest a few extra hours in the company of friends.
